20 Part III - Technical Strategy How will LGSS deliver?

21 Principles The strength of LGSS is that we offer choice of Line of Business (LoB) systems, while delivering efficiencies through convergence of infrastructure and universal applications. Service users will, with support from LGSS, determine their own LoB systems, and user practice. LGSS will identify and promote convergence and economies of scale in the use of LoB systems and end user devices. LGSS will, on behalf of stakeholders, deliver a programme of convergence and consolidation of back-end infrastructure, networks and universal applications.

22 Systems determination Line of Business Systems Children and Adult social care, learning, highways assets and street works Users decide with LGSS support System Integration Enterprise wide and Shared Services systems Collaboration Apps (e.g. SharePoint), Web tools & platforms, ERP, CRM, EDRMS, Rev & Bens, Pensions Admin, Legal Services... System Integration Infrastructure Networks, data centre, telephony, , architecture, office automation, access controls & security, archiving and DR.. LGSS promotes common solutions & provides required Systems Integration and technical support LGSS decides on behalf of all users

27 Common Infrastructure Strategy Separate Physical/Virtual networks for each customer Northamptonshire Cambridgeshire Norwich Northampton Servers Servers Servers Servers AD AD AD AD Multi-Tenant Shared server and storage infrastructure Private Cloud

28 Main Datacentre Northamptonshire CC Servers NCC LGSS Other NBC Combined Storage Pool

29 Main Datacentre Cambridgeshire CC Servers CCC LGSS Other Norwich Combined Storage Pool

30 Common Infrastructure Strategy Main Data Centre (NCC) Main Data Centre (CCC) Local Data rooms for resilience as required

31 Common Infrastructure Strategy Recommendation 1. Unified data centre strategy, using CCC site, plus secondary/dr site 2. Convergence of server and storage refresh projects 3. Creation of a reference data centre architecture and design Benefits Provides a solution to the closure of Angel Street Provides a platform to add new customers Cost Savings Enables convergence of server infrastructure lifecycle management Reduces ongoing and refresh project costs by using a standardised shared infrastructure (private cloud)

Deliver Unified Communications pilot with users Benefits Supports mobile and flexible working styles Reduces call costs Cost Savings Enables convergence of network management & support functions

38 Flexible Service to meet changes in organisation size and format

39 Flexible Service to meet changes in organisation size and format Recommendation 1. Infrastructure and licensing to allow flex in user numbers and types. (Contracts that can be reduced to reflect fewer users; server capacity that can be reduced as well as expanded). 2. Future ICT costs split into a fixed charge to cover the infrastructure costs (e.g. power, data centre, servers, network) and a much smaller per user charge which will vary dependent on the type and number of users. This will move ICT towards a utility pricing model similar to a gas or electric bill: the less you use the less you pay.

40 And for LGSS? Think as One, Deliver as One Single domain for LGSS staff LGSS Desktop, intranet, Cross-site directory Collaboration tools project management, team sites etc. Business Systems legal, service desk A structure to match users requirements: support; development; professional advice Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plan
